After much hard work ( by my friendly mechanic) my lovely Trophy Yellow TF has now passed its MOT and is all freshly serviced :clap:
Now sporting new brakes and new underfloor stainless steel pipes to go with the stainless steel sub frame mounts.

Only thing is - where has the sun gone?

Congratulations :clap: .That's a worry out of the way . Well the weather has gone pear shaped in Yorkshire too so , we shall all have to be patient . Patience is something that I am loosing with the guy who runs a paint shop near by . I removed my TF's bumpers to have them repainted and I am beginning to regret it as I could have hand built a new car in the time he has had them ! Ho hum ! John , Pudsey

How big a job is it to remove the bumpers? I really should replace the grills?

Well down here the sun disappeared this afternoon. Which meant I have had 3 top down days after mine passing the MOT this week! I did get some strange looks this morning on the way to work as it was a bit nippy!

It isn't that involved if you know where the screws and bolts are, you'll need a Torx T50 bit for the TF.

Wipers off, roof off...............

I amuse my colleagues arriving at work at 6 a.m. in mid winter with the roof down.

The job is fairly easy to do as long as rust hasn't taken a firm grip of the large torqx head bolts front and rear . There is a very helpful ' How to ' which shows how it's done on this forum .
